Spence making a savage attack upon a farmer named Myles M. McArthur with an open jackknife. The two men were enemies over some disputed land claim. Spence rushed upon McArthur at the church door and stabbed him a number of times with a knife. McArthur bad a child in his arms and could not defend himself. Rev. Solomon B.

A Brampton despatch says: Tho neigh- borhood of the fifth line west, Chinguaconsy, in the immediate vicinity of lot 17,hasbeen in an uproar of excitement over an event that occurred at the residence of Mr Wm. Sharpe, on Sunday night. Dr. Webster was on the scene early, and it was noticed he wore a very serious look. After the doc- tor had been at Mr Sharpe's place awhile he beckoned the gentleman of the house to his lady's chamber and there showed the bewildered and dazed father three sons all in a row, and as much alike as it is possible to have had them. Mrs Sharpe, the mo- ther of the triplets, is a small fair woman about 36 years of age. Just a year ago Mr Sharpe lost three small children by the dread scourge diphtheria, and now their places have been filled by one birth. The mother and the little ones are doing well and in likelihood the infants will live. The Sharpe homestead is being visited daily by scores of baby worshippers. Fire broke out in D. W. Karn & Co.'s piano factory in the east And, Woodstock, and proved vim' destructive, for before the firemen could get control of the flames the factory was completely gutted. The con- tents generally were destroyed, including about thirty pianos ready for shipment. Five or six pianos were removed from the wareroom, but were badly damaged in handling. A number of organs were also on the ground floor, and these were dumped ell mell into the street,with the result that they were virtually ruined. The fire did not get down stairs, but the water did, and the factory to -day presents a ruined ap- pearance. The new annex,however, escap- ed, and work will be continued here with- out interruption. This is the third time he has been visited by fire in Woodstock. He estimates his loss at $35,000. On thebuild- ing and contents he had an insurance of $21,000.

In the eastern abattoir about 375 cattle, 150 calves and 60 sheep and lambs were offering. Prices were practically the same as last Monday and the advance of Thurs- day was abandoned in view of the liberality of offerings. A few of the top cattle brought 4p. but the average price for very fair beeves was from 40 to 40. Large fat oows ran at aboutlo ; bulls brought from 30 to ; common dry cows sold at 3o to 30, and a few lean old' mills did not reach even the inside figure. Sheep were scarce and brought 50 to 50. Lambs are getting more plentiful but prices still rule high and 83.50 to $5 per head are fair prices. Good calves brought high figures, while common wale were weak and negleoted. Fat hogs are in fair supply. The demand was a good one at about 54c per lb. and the stook changed hands readily at this figure. THE BRITISH CATTLE MARKET. Liverpool, March 28. While prices have not advanced, we think the lowest has been reached, and anticipate a reaction. We quote average mixed shipments 10c, sinking offals. TORONTO LIVE STOCK CARKETS -- There was a good run of stuff at the Western Cattle Market to -day, but prices were well held with a weak tendency. There were about 400 cattle on sale, 75 sheep and lambs, 270 hogs and about 100 • calves. Cattle.—This trade was fairly active. For choice butchers' cattle there is a good demand. The number of extra choice cat- tle on sale was limited. The Market was firm at from ate per lb. up to 40 per lb. for medium to good butchers' and extra fancy choice brought from 4c to 4ac. ac- cording to quality. The outlook is promis- ing. Good stockers fetch from 30 to 3ic per lb. Very little extrachoice stock offer- ed. The general range was from 3c to no per lb, the latter for pretty fair animals. Inferior and rough cows and oxen fetch from 3c to 30 per lb according to quality. Good to choice butchers' sold at from 3i to 44o per lb, and extra fancy choice brought from 4e to 4fc. A few head were sold for a fraction higher. Sheep and lambs.—Yearlings sell at from 5c to 510 per lb, but not much trade was done. Ther 9 is a fair demand. Sheep are not- in active_demesid but_alLwere_virelLtak" en before the close at from 30 to. 40 per lb. Good choice muttons are in prettygood request for local butchers, at about $5 75 to 56 per head for heavy ones. Calves.—The market had a slightly firm tendency owing to the lighter offerings. Quotations were well held. Poor stuff and "slinks" sagged off a little. Medium to good veals brought from $5 to $6 per hd, but as low as $2 50 and $3 50 to 54 per head was paid for poor lots. Some extra choice veals brought up to 59 to$9 50. The New York Trill:int:le prints the fol- lowing as a bona fide "ad." which reeently appeared in an English religious paper : .•A Christian young man of retiring and sensa- tive character desires to be employed by a quiet and godly person. Understands the higher forms of gardening and is au expert coffin maker. Instead of the usual beer at. lowance, he will take the equivalent in money, which he will give to the Lord." Ex -Senator Thomas M. Bowen, of Col - erode, was staying at the Palmer house, Chicago, the other day, and dressed so hur- riedly upon one occasion that he left be- hind him in the dressing room an under - vest containing $13,000 in cash and $30,000 in Government bonds. The honesty of colored porters will now stand secure for all time to come. One of them found the vest and returned it to Mr. Bowen. In Konigsberg,East Prussia, a man nam- ed rusehke recently crucified himself un- der the impression that he ought to die in the same manner as the Saviour. Puschko was until recently a harmless person, but became a religious monomaniac through the teachings of a preacher who has been cre- ating considerable excitement in East Prussia. After attending a religious meet- ing some time ago, at which the death of Christ was described with much realism, Puschko conceived the idea that his sine could be atoned for by submitting to the same form of expiation. FIe began to brood over the subject, and told his wife about it. He tried to induce her to agree to his idea, and act the part of executioner. Shereject- ed the proposal with horror, and endeavor- ed to persuade him to give up his insane purpose. Puschko, with a maniac's cun- ning, saw that his wife could not be conver- ted to his views, and might defeat his ob- ject if he persisted in urgingher. Hethere- fore pretended to give up his purpose, and his wife's alarm subsided in view of his as surance that be had not been in earnest. Puschko, however, was determined to make himself a sacrifice. His wife saw him cor- ing over the New Testament, and noticed that he seemed to make a particular study of the portion relating to the crucifixion. During the absence of his wife a few days ago Puschko procured some boards, which beflaid on the ground in the form of a cross. He then procured some stout cord and tied his own legs in such a way that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to raise himself after he had laid down. What he did afterwards can only be judged from his condition when found. His feet had been fastened with heavy nails to the board. Then lying on his back he had hammereda nail through his left hand with the right, nailing the left hand firmly. The right hand remained free, and in this the maniac took a knife and repeatedly stabbed him- self in the breast. He became unconscious from pain and loss of blood, and wasin this condition when his wifereturned. She call- ed for help and released the victim. He re- covered consciousneiss,and while hiswounds are very serious, it it believed they are not necessarily fatal. Further Arrivals of SrECIALTIE!'
